The Orthodox is a loser church. The young do not know the faith, the churches are dying the people are dying. and the orthodox are clueless to what is going on around here.
This is why the Jews hated Jesus, because he was of a "loser church" who did not care about "imigration" and "what was going on around him" politically, socially, and economically. He didn't care enough about the kingdoms of this world.
There are about as many Muslims in America as their are "Orthodox". It should not shock anyone that there are now 18 Mosques in Chicago; I have always wondered why their were so few.
The Muslims are not going to take over or convert any "enlightened" Westerner, who are mostly post-Christian. The Westerner already has his new religion and nothing but nothing will interfere with it, this religion is himself.
The only thing the Orthodox need to do is pray, and be concerned about his own salvation. As has been evidenced on this and other forums over many months, people are rarley convinced of anything by debates and mere words. We are wasting and squandering our time if we think anyone will be convinced of anything with mere information because it is not enough to uderstand, people can convince themselves of anything given time and motive. Far more important is for the Heart to be converted, this is the motive, and this can only be done by a person with the Grace of God. As the words of the Saints say, save yourself and thousands around you will also be saved. Those around you are the ones you love the most. Be a missionary to them by being a living example!
And I am the biggest fool of them all, having known this but not actually having accepted it.
With very few exceptions, there is no such thing as missionaries in the Orthodox Church. We do not need "missionaries", we need icons of Christ who are the lights on the lampstand, setting the example for everyone who wishes to see, see. We do not need missionaries, or internet know-it-alls like me (so I think), which is just following the well-worn path of the Protestants, we need saints!
Study even one of the pillar saints and you will see exactly what I mean - they are the antithesis of a "missionary", they were certainly, as Wheeler put it, earthly "losers"(!), but one thing is for sure, they are still "missionizing".
